Jackie Chan was already a star before The Young Master but this film took him to another level. He plays Dragon who undertakes a mission to find his missing brother, and gets into plenty of scrapes along the way including a case of mistaken identity.

Chang Cheh's super-heroic, grand guignol-flavored thriller proved hugely popular in America, inspiring a U.S. soft drink commercial, and even an entire rap music act's world tour. It also spawned a film series featuring more amazing, high-flying, blade-juggling, flesh-stabbing mayhem.

Ming partisan Chu is on the run from Manchu forces. Local merchant and kung fu enthusiast Li Chen-chau gives the fugitive shelter in his pawnshop and quietly recruits some of his fellow martial master associates to help protect the lad.
